Mar 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great landscaping, great location and awkward house configuration This house location was excellent, the landscaping was innovative but the layout of the rooms were awkward in that the master bedroom had no closet and had a very small bathroom. It was also colder in there and also had the washer and dryer in adjacent room separated by a curtain. Also some of the pictures of the house didn’t match the actual house. We made the best of the accommodations and loved eating outside with the beautiful surroundings which were the best of the house. ##### Dan J.
